Yes released Drama in 1980. Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman had left the group and Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes (The Buggles: "Video Killed the Radio Star" fame) stepped in. The entire album sheered away from anything they'd done before and had a much heavier, bass-driven, almost 'metal sound. One of the tracks was a six-and-a-half minute piece called "Could it Really Happen" that really showcased what Chris Squire could do with a bass. It has a neat, looping symmetry about it.

I never much cared for the song on the first few listens, but it grows on me every time I hear and is easily my favorite from the album and of that year—even against Rush's awesome Permanent Waves album!

"Tempus Fugit" rocks! I actually liked Drama a lot more than anything they did after Close to the Edge.
